“Hamas has been destroyed and its leadership eliminated. This moment gives us the opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza, and it must end so that Israel is safe, the hostages are freed, and the suffering in Gaza ends,” Harris said.
She added that resolving the crisis should benefit not only Israel, but also the Palestinian people. Harris stressed that Palestinians must be given the opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination and security.
On October 17, DNA testing confirmed the liquidation of Sinvar. In Israel, the attack on the head of the Politburo of the Palestinian movement was called a “message to the enemies.” At the same time, from the point of view of Tel Aviv, the removal of the Hamas leader will lead to the gradual destruction of the organization as a whole.
Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, taking many civilians and military hostage. In response, Tel Aviv launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip. The subsequent destruction of the Palestinian enclave, coupled with the growing number of internally displaced persons, drew condemnation from the international community, especially from Islamic countries.
Earlier, Israel refused to stop the operation in Gaza after the liquidation of the head of the Hamas Politburo.
